I usually don't like to comment on political or religious matters online but .... Okay, first of all I'm Catholic so this isn't prejudice but the notion that a semi-starved person in a workhouse during the height of the potato famine would have to abstain from milk for Good Friday by request of his faith's authority .... damn that's upsetting. Church Law? I'll bet the chaplain sat down to a nice meal that evening.
